Welcome to the 2nd Segment of "History of Voodoo Amps"
This 2nd photo is a rare “Twin-Plex”, which is (2) completely separate amps housed in the same headbox. “Side-A” was a black face Fender Twin Reverb with 6L6’s & “Side-B” was a Voodoo Amps V-Plex 50watt with EL34’s. Each side / amp operates independent or run together at the same time.
This was 1 of 2 amps built in 2004 & contained Custom Voodoo Mercury Magnetics transformers & was 100% hand wired circuitry (no printed circuit boards). The headbox was made of Mahogany & Flame Maple hard woods.
